Dear Friend,

I pray this newsletter finds you well, healthy and sound. As we wrap up 2012, thankfulness fills my heart to what God has done this year. I pray that each one of us, no matter where we are, can give God glory for their lives.

I have just come back from a weekend away to Monterrey, (Mexico’s 3^rd largest city) where I was invited by a dear friend, a medical researcher at a leading university in Mexico, to lead a youth conference and teach in two churches. (Adolfo and I preaching) My visit was marked by a surprise…. a funeral! As I spent time with the family who had lost their loved one, it touched my heart seeing all the saddened people. Lord, what should I say?  Having asked about the life of the 70 year old Francisco, I was told he had just given his life to Christ four months ago.  I found the answer to my question in Titus 1:2. “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.” With this, I was able to comfort the people, and those who had arrived with sad hearts, left with good news-the message of Christ- hope for eternity! I am encouraged to know that even at sad times, the Gospel of truth can still be spread.

Ministry News

The village ministry is moving well with people desiring God more and more. One lady who has captured my attention this last month is Amelia. Amelia is the grandmother of Gustavo a young boy I mentioned in my last newsletter that needs our prayers as he goes through cardiac complications. Amelia never went to school and through the years she has battled with reading. But thank God she can hear the Gospel and act it out! Ever since she started coming to church, God has transformed her life as she yields to serve others with passion, especially in the area of hospitality. She is a light to her family too, her mother has taken on cleaning the church each week before the services, and recently her younger son just said yes to Christ! Please pray she will continue to be an example to all the villagers. ( L to R, 1. Amelia standing.  2.Warm clothes for the villagers)

New Ministry: Hospital Evangelism

I have just finished holding talks with two families that will be helping with our new hospital ministry. Where once a month we will be giving out boxes of food and drinks, to those who’s loved ones are in the hospital, after sharing the Gospel of Christ with them.  Thank God there is already a lined up passionate team for the mission. (New team helpers, Tedeo and Hector.)

Construction Project

Some of you may already be aware we are starting a construction project this month. We will be building a missionary house that will be a home base for Becky and I after getting married in April next year, as we minister through the north central region of Mexico. The plans are already in place and I am set to hold the last key meeting with the master builder this week before the project begins. I am the project manager, please pray that God will guide us with all the wisdom needed as the building goes on, for the resources and funds needed to be available and that we remain faithful in spreading the gospel through this time. (Project photos coming soon)

Praise Report

Praise God this month that:

-          I have been able to preach and teach in many services and evangelistic meetings. As a result, three people said YES to Christ for the first time and many continue to deepen their roots in Him.

-          God continues to stir up the hearts of many people around me in serving Him more and preaching the gospel.

-          Thank you so much for your prayers for Gustavo, his health has been improving greatly, but he’s still awaiting results from the hospital. Please continue to pray for this young boy, may we see God at work through this situation. (The Village Team)

Thank you so much

I am very grateful for all your prayers and support. I am always encouraged to hear from you and to know how I can also pray for you. Looking at every way I am a blessing to the people around me and the lives that are touched and changed by the powerful loving grace of Jesus, I know you play a great part in it all and you are a partaker of the grace that the Lord has bestowed on my life. I am so thankful to have a friend like you and I could not be where I am now without you.

Please continue to pray

1-        For God’s wisdom and understanding as we continue to preach the gospel and disciple others. May we always point people to the one true eternal hope.

 

2-        Pray for the availability of resources, finances and much needed help with the Missionary House construction.

3-        Pray that God would continue to be our strength and peace as we head into new ministry ventures and through the challenges these may bring. May we always have a meek and humble heart, always ready to hear God, and walk in righteousness. (Gustavo and I on the right)

  Much love and blessings,

In His service,

Donald
